[today, Plane-goers, is a special day! for you see, today we have sighted the elusive 'Guv' in his natural habitat: the pub. or as natural as a pub comes on the Plane, meaning he's at the Astral Bar. because really, when isn't he. but today is different, because the Guv isn't drinking, though he sourly wishes he were. no, today, this terrifying animal has in front of him actual, honest-to-god paperwork

you see, Plane-goers, on occasion, the Guv will stop being boorish and actually look at casework. the reasons behind this unusual behaviour differ, but for today, that reason is nightmares, and what better way to soothe a distraught mind than with pointless, nancy paperwork?

yeah, that's what the Guv thinks, too]

Bloody hell.

Couldn't agree more, luv.

[as she starts rummaging] Things go much smoother without all that red tape in your way.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

I've made a habit of ignoring the red tape and letting other bastards deal with it.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[turns her head to flash him a grin] They all tried to dump the paperwork on me, once.

[turns back to the beer she's looking through] Turns out they stop if you hit them enough.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Fond of yelling, myself. I took this one up myself, though, luv. Don't got anyone to blame but me this time.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Ah. You must be really bored, or really need a distraction.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Something like that, yeah.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Been there. [finally grabs something appealing, turning back] Drink?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[takes it gladly] What'd you need it for?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

The paperwork or the alcohol? [turns to grab a glass for herself] ...You guys don't need ice, right? [warm beer. what is wrong with england.]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[snorts] Both. [and heeey, don't pick on his booze]

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[but it's weeeeird] Well, I usually worked on paperwork when the case got too - frustrating. [pours her own drink] I want alcohol because I think an old friend just turned evil.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[Gene just yells and rants a lot when he gets a frustrating case] Prefer the legwork myself. Least when something's not working. [nods a bit] Taking bribes?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[wry smile] They didn't like it when I beat up too many people. [shakes her head as she slides him his glass] Worse. Suddenly he's the head of the most corrupt law firm in Los Angeles.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Too much paperwork, they say. [snorts] So go in there and drag his arse out.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Did I mention they employ literal demons?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Point?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[wry grin] It'll take a bit of planning. For now, I'm brooding.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Just don't do it too long. Good coppers don't sit around feeling sorry for themselves. Even if they're birds.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[wry, wistful laugh] You sound like my lieutenant.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Smart bloke, then.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

He is. Or was. [more drinking, yes] Haven't seen him in years.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

He go join the bloody cult, too?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Nah. I got fired.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Was it worth it?
